<p>For the short takes, how far can I take these? I was thinking of making each of my responses hilarious. Would this come across as bad to them? For example, for "What would you ask if you were selecting a Yale class," may I put "What makes us better than Harvard?"</p>
<p>Be careful, you still want to come across as a serious applicant. Tasteful humor on some of the short takes is fine, but I wouldn’t try to be funny on all of them.</p>
